It was pretty strange for me arriving in Brisbane. I dated a girl from here for over a year and I didn't know anything about the city at all. I ended up coming here because a Spanish girl I met (Hola Patricia, donde estas?) lived and worked in Brisey for awhile and offered to show me around. I was surprised by the city. I'm not much of a city bo...

Så kom jeg til Brisbane. Har været ret spændt på vejret, da der har været masser af regn og oversvømmelser. Men dér stod jeg så, kl.ca 20, i 24 gr varme - lige til at klare :-) Michelle, Lee og Bree hentede mig i lufthavnen og vi kørte så ud til Cathy & Rob. (lige lidt opdate så alle er med: Cathy er mor til Ronald, Lee og Michelle. Bree er ...

So back to Brisbane today, and back onto the train and 7 1/2 hours to do 300km! We again reduced the average age on the carriage by several decades. It's great to see Brisbane in the sunshine for a change. We have a great top floor apartment close to the station and have a fantastic view of the city and river. Unfortunately our overnight stop di...

Well, the book that I have waited for for a decade has been published. I merrily went down to the UQ bookshop at 8.30 this morning, ready for the 9.01 release. It felt very surreal, stood in that shop, watching the boxes of books, stamped with "EMBARGOED", knowing that the answers to the questions HUNDREDS of 90s kids have been asking for 10 yea...

After we got off the boat from the Whitsundays, the plan was to hop in the car and take turns driving back to Brisbane; giving me the most time to sell my car and if I couldn't, the Canidiots would do it for me. The Canidiots first wanted to check their email and see if Tom had sent them the number of the guy who they were going to work for in B...

Fri 13th Oct - Tues 17th Oct. Good to reach a propper city again after the previous resorty places. A couple of good nights out. The lads met someone they had met in Vietnam a couple of months before and she invited us back to a house party one night. Bumped into the 2 Dutch lads from the Fraser Island trip. Discovered Brisbane's strange nightcl...

Some photos of Kel's very short trip back home. The wedding, friends, family and the beautiful scenery of home.

A nice easy start to the trip with a mid-day flight over to Brisbane. A bit of confusion over the meals resulted in my getting special treatment with extra red wine - needless to say after that I quite happily passed out and only woke up as the plane came in to land... Excellent way to travel! Brisbane turned out to be a bit cooler than Perth, b...

Arrived in Brisbane nice and early on Thursday and were picked up by Carmen from the airport. Brisbane is a nice city, although it is not a major place for travellers to stay at - purely because there is not much here to look at! The city is expanding, with people coming here from Sydney and Melbourne because there are more jobs on offer, and it...
